42 Rules for Saving Your House from Foreclosure

This book is for anyone who is in a bad mortgage situation. You have an adjustable loan; your monthly payment has now skyrocketed to an amount you cant afford on a monthly basis. That is the situation I found myself in. After four applications to my bank for a loan modification, I decided I needed to get professional help. Craig Triance is my lawyer and co-author in this biographical how to book about my process to save my home. We captured the critical things I learned along the way, so you can avoid making common mistakes. The rules are legally accurate, but may include strategies that the banks dont want you to know. We want you to be able to save your house also, and the rules in this book give you a complete guide to doing just that.

The book is divided into three different sections of rules, based on where in the process you are. Section 1: How did you get into this mess? The rules in this section examine who will call you and who will not, who to look out for and what to do with your credit cards, retirement account and home equity loan.

Section 2: Rules to help you dig your way out! The rules in this section focus on getting out of denial about your current financial situation, being willing to talk about it, getting help, finding partners and behaviors that will help you look better (more credible for a loan modification) with a bank mortgage negotiator.

Section 3: Options, Solutions and Resolution. This section of rules assumes you are already dealing with the bank (and it is not going so well), and looks at some of your options including: loan modification, short sales, partnerships and investors, lease backs, even bankruptcy.
